Global solar adoption is increasing, yet efficiency loss due to heat remains a major issue.
Solar panels lose 0.3%-0.5% efficiency per degree above 25°C.
In real-world conditions, panels reach 65°C within minutes, dropping efficiency by 20%.
50% of end-of-life solar panels still have 10+ years of usable life.
Recycling costs are $20-$30 per panel, creating financial and environmental waste.
Our Solution: Solar Chill™ Technology
Solar Chill™ technology acts as a filter to reflect heat
• Producing infrared light while allowing energy-generating visible light to pass through to the panel
• This product uses a combination of nanostructures
and metamaterials to allow for this tailored filtering
to occur
Panel manufacturers seeking to integrate Solar Chill™
• Retrofit and end-of-life installation will be as simple as applying a film or transfer on top of a freshly cleaned panel
• Both EVA and film for retrofit markets are readily available products with several supplier options. Lumenco will integrate the technology into the EVA or film
